As a Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS), 60Hertz's product differentiators and value props are these: off-line first; mobile-first; inclusive User Interface; cost-effective for multi-stakeholder projects. Nestled within this $787B sector, 60Hertz is the first microgrid-specific maintenance software. From this beachhead market, 60Hertz is poised to address other remote, critical infrastructure - from water/waste-water sites, to health clinics globally. 60Hertz's mission is to enable maintainers to achieve their full potential, and assets their full lifespan. 60Hertz is a venture-backed Startup that will raise its Series A in late 2021-22; to date the company has raised $1.5M; won 9 international prizes; has 21 customers, and 200 Daily Active Users. We are a B2B software company that acquires users primarily through annual contracts.The team is headquartered in Anchorage but largely remote. 60Hertz co-developed its prototype of the software in 2017/18 with Alaska Native Microgrid operators in 15 indigenous communities. 60Hertz is rigorously focused on the human. We are adherents of Human Centered Design, disciples of the Jobs To Be Done principles, and adhere to lean development principles. The product architecture is modeled off of the SAP BusinessObjects concept, enabling reporting and analytics but with a more intuitive UI. Practically speaking, our users are field technicians who engage with simple and clear checklists. They work offline, can be shown in a native language, and can be endlessly modified. However, the data captured by these forms is smartly re-arranged into an asset-centric or job-centric view for supervisors back at headquarters to keep track of their fleet. What seems simple and intuitive at first glance is powered by thoughtful design and architecture. 2021 Goals for Product include:Product:* Develop critical features that drive revenue * Implement Integrations with strategic hardware and software partners * Develop long term data monetization strategy* Deepen our niche as a shared source of truth between OEMs and their customers* Provide customer metrics that matter for their use-case.Software Development Team Goals:* Integrate with priority partner companies* Develop additional features to increase competitiveness and round out our stated value proposition* Complete critical features like Reporting, Messaging and improved UI; while evaluating the range of next features - constantly looking at Build vs Buy equations* Develop our Big Data strategy* Enhance our Security strategy* Evaluate priorities on the roadmap, from mental health to messaging, through the lens of revenue-drivers, differentiators, and sparkle.
